Default ReaScript task control missing one option...

I searched but it seems this has not been requested yet. Strange...

When fiddling with ReaScripts, the script GUI very often gets hidden behind the docker or other windows. If a specific ReaScript is running but hidden, and the user double clicks that script in the action window, the "ReaScript task control" pops up informing the user that the script is already running in the background. Then there are two choices "Terminate instance" and "New instance".

The (to me) obvious "Move current instance to foreground" is missing!

That is the action that I think is appropriate most of the times. Could we please have this added?

Default

This thing is still annoying, and it seems to me that the fix would be easy.

Since I posted in September last year, the number choices has increased, so now we have the options to "Terminate instance". "New instance", and "Cancel", but neither of those does what to me is the obvious thing, namely bring the running instance of the script to the foreground.

Immediately bringing the currently running instance to the foreground would of course also work, then the user just clicks cancel and is happy. Maybe this last thing would even be the best thing...
